Probably because they saw how fucking badly slaves were treated by the British that led to such bravado. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Henry Wood started the Proms in the 1890s but it was his successor Sir Malcolm "Flash Harry" Sergeant who shaped the Last Night as it is now in the 1950s and 1960s by encouraging the flag waving and all that shite. The words of Land of Dope and Tory (as I call it) were actually tacked on to Elgar's music at the suggestion of Edward VII and could be dropped. And I think Rule Britannia was dropped from the event for a couple of years a decade ago. Incidentally the original words were "Britons never SHALL be slaves" and were only changed to "never will" in the late 19th Century. The best version of Pomp & Circumstance was usually accompanied by the Macho Man heading to the ring. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it his agent suggested changing his original theme- "Macho Man" by the Village People? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exceptions but the pre-2010ers are of a higher quality in general imo. Moi, l'exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why there's an increase in slugs and snails. You want to get out of that massive Metropolis, bennett. When I take the dog out for his evening walk, we'll come across three or four of the p***kly little beggars. My furry little mate likes to investigate them, as they're a damn' sight easier to get close to than the pigeons. crows and tree-rats which also abound in our rural paradise. Not that that stops the daft bugger chasing them, mind.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
